2115, NSW 2118, NSW

Postcode 2118 and postcode 2115 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2118 is more multicultural and highly qualified, with 55.3% of people born overseas and 44.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It is also a major education hub, with 7,511 school enrolments and 9 schools within 3km, compared to just 208 enrolments and 2 schools in postcode 2115. Postcode 2118 has a higher level of access to money and resources, scoring 8 out of 10, while postcode 2115 scores 5.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened in several ways, particularly as postcode 2118 has seen a larger increase in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. However, they remain very similar in terms of typical weekly household income, which sits around $2,000, and the share of adults working or looking for work. Both areas are also well above the national figure for people working from home.
